love the hoed - rugby at the padel courts

The Hoedspruit Sports Bar is now open at the padel courts!

  What a great place – family orientated, festive and great ‘grub’. Situated at the padel courts on the Zandspruit Boulevard this is a place to have birthdays, fun socials, corporate events, team building, or simply come and watch the ‘rugga’, in an easy-feel, relaxed atmosphere. There are a good number of screens for those big sporting days, and the bar has inside and outside seating.

  For those just wanting to log out of the office environment there are workstations and plug points for all those looking for a relaxing environment to work, whilst getting the caffeine count up.

  The bar has a small, simple, but delicious menu that includes breakfasts, burgers and pizzas. There are also some kiddie’s options.

  The padel courts are secured with gates leading to car parks to make it safe for the little ones, and there is an awesome, safe play area for the kids (racetrack, log cabin, trampoline and sand pit).

  On the padel side there is a fully equipped padel shop where you can find new gear, or you can rent equipment. Bookings to play are all made through the playtomic App, and you can get a game in before work as there are bathrooms with showers and changerooms so you can freshen up for the day ahead.

   Membership options are available, and padel leagues are starting soon to bring the competitiveness out of people, but also to have fun and meet new friends. The leagues will be for mens, ladies and mixed.

  The establishment hours are 06:00 – 20:00 Sundays through to Tuesdays, and 06:00 – 22:00 on Wednesday through to Saturday.

  Coming soon: an upstairs viewing terrace with a great view of the mountains and the sunset!

International CyberTracker Meeting Draws Master Trackers, Board Members to Hoedspruit

At a place called Lone Tree in the central Kalahari, a band of San hunters picked a young kudu bull out of the herd and started running it down. Louis Liebenberg, then a young South African researcher with no distance-running background, wasn’t meant to be part of that – the hunters told him the heat made the chase too dangerous for someone untrained. He talked his way into staying anyway.

Social Capital

I have watched countless breeding herds of African elephant consisting of a senior cow, elder females and younger cows, all the way down to juveniles of both sexes – the young males are banished from their natal herd around their early teens – yet I’m ever fascinated by the quality of synchronised attention this matriarchal sisterhood constantly pay to one another.
